As his words bear upon the work that the Woman's
Keller Corps are doing IN order TO secure some Just
pension legislation To the women nurses of field
and hospital we give the concluding portion Of his
admirable address While our sisters remained
at home they were not idle and had you been as
have, through some of the great sorehouses Of the
Sanitary or Christian Commissions in the cities ofhe
South, you would have some idea of the aggregate
of the individual efforts of Northern women during
| the war, God bless theml The army hospital would
have been crude and barren place. indeed had 1t
not been for the supplies kept pouring into them in
constant streams from the laps Of the loyal women
of the North. And, though IL may be true that army
Surgeons, Hospital Stewards and commissioned
officers generally diverted many of these supplies
from their proper channel, yet enough reached
the wounded soldier TO do n vast amount of good.
AT least the doctors could not eat nor drink the
bandages nor lint supplied. " fiber by fiber, and
thread by thread by sweet sisters of the North
And then the glorious patriots that went
nurses TO the wounded. Who that has ever seen,
as have, men brought from the battlefield AFTER
months campaign, dirty, ragged footsore and
wounded, into the wards Of n hospital and there
been clothed in clean linen, and their wounds
dressed by these sweet sisters OF charity but will
forever say, God bless the women of the North"
